Notes

Eco Wool is such a funny yarn. Definitely more of an Aran or Worsted. Didn’t get anywhere near gauge, so holding it with a sport weight yarn. It’s still not perfect gauge, so did some math to figure out the right size to work (note: this doesn’t always work out, you must consider row gauge and altering those measurements too)

Aiming for a 38” inch bust (3” positive ease) but my gauge is
11.5 sts = 4” rather than 10.5” = 4”

so my gauge times the size bust I want is
(11.5/4)38” = 109.25 sts around.

In looking at the pattern and the stitch counts at the bust, size 40.5” has 106 sts = 36.8” in my gauge…
size 42.75“ has 112 sts = 38.9” better fit.
